Sorry to be derailing this thread.
I have taken Peters poke and posted some pics in the carrier forum where my original thread was. Not sure if it should be moved to this as it is a restoration/reconstruction/reproduction. Might as well move it. Hanno I will leave that to you.

Guys,
This project is something like that old adage "something new, something old and something borrowed". Massaged the old battered and bent raised portion of the crew compartment floor and "dry" fitted it into place. Looks quite good. Will have to have one mounting bracket fabricated and welded into place. Then on to the fire wall. It will be totally new, the old one is only good as a template. I will try and copy a technique from Rick's thread and include earlier pictures to lend perspective.

Road trip
Finally got all the little bits and pieces repaired/fixed/replaced in the hull to the point where it was ready for sandblasting and epoxy primer.
Loaded up the hull and transported it off to Darren Green's sandblasting in Desoronto. With luck on it's return it will be mounted on the frame. 2015-09-28 13.24.27.jpg 2015-09-28 14.45.49.jpg

Another milestone
Guys,
Got the Lynx back from sandblasting and primer, quite pleased with how it turned out. Living in a very rural spot, I am quite fortunate with my neighbours. The Rankin family, have a large farm, and also a great shop with a handy gantry. It made putting the Lynx together a much easier and safe task. Bob Awder, their mechanic, also ensured that I left with all my digits intact. Great feeling once it was back in the garage to realize that it's the first time in decades that it's now back in one piece.

Peter,
Wonderfull work! I think in the automotive industry mating the body to the chassis and running gear is known as the "marriage".  Keep up the good work. Alex
